1954 Map of Templeton

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Otter River valley defines this mid-century portrait of Worcester County, where industrial villages like Baldwinville and East Templeton developed along the water's power and the path of the Boston and Maine Railroad. The landscape is a mix of dense woodlands, including the Templeton State Forest and Birch Hill State Forest, and concentrated civic centers. Of particular note for local historians is the site of the Fernald State Sch and the Gardner Landing Field near the eastern edge. Local infrastructure is highly detailed, showing everything from the Drive-in Theatre near Gardner to cemeteries like Wildwood Cem. The map captures the transition of smaller hamlets such as Brooks Village and Goulding Village as they maintained their identities within the larger township during the post-war era.
